Hi Flaming B!

Hope you are well,

Could you add SugarandVice to the do not post list.
They asked on a post where a comp of theirs had been posted,it has now been deleted.

Regards

Cheers T! Trying to track down the web address now & confirm so the right one goes into the Guide. Will update it when they reply to the PM.... or if you happen to know which website it was..?

I did a Google search but don't want to add the wrong one - can't see a comp on the one I found, so not sure if it was that one or another one

It was an fb comp, this site:

You can see all the compers likes on the post from earlier today.

Thanks as always

Hi VelvetGlove,

Thank you very much for your guide - I've only been comping a few days and finally had some time to read through your guide, a huge help, there's so much to take in. Have already been successfully using Autofill FF add-on and just added RefControl that I read about on this thread tonight (thank you imapoorstudent! though I've to get into the dailies, weeklies, mags, TV part of this) so I wanted to give Snap Links a try too - 270 pages of threads of comps is a lot of work!

The Snap Links link in your guide goes to the old version, which is not compatible with newer versions of FF (FYI I use Waterfox, a streamlined much faster 64-bit version of FF, uses the same profile as FF though - in case others want to try it, Win7 64-bit only though, digressing a tad now) but there is a Snap Links Plus here: addons mozilla org/en-US/firefox/addon/SnapLinksPlus (new user so can't post a link, but two well placed full stops will complete the main mozilla website) which is compatible and is presumably the same program.

Would you consider adding this to your guide please? It may be worth keeping the original Snap Links part in, in case users still use older versions of their browser that it still works with.

Thank you

Chris

Hi Chris, glad you found the Guide useful There is heaps of information in there but you can dip in & out or take the plunge & read through :eek:

Cheers for the heads up on the Snaplinks, I'll have a nosey & then update that area of the Guide. HUGE thanks for helping to keep the Guide a useful & uptodate reference thread :beer:

Thanks weeowens for providing the clickable link, I'll research & edit after tea! x


Edited to add:
OK, the link that was in the Guide was from 2007 & suited Firefox browsers from 1.0 upwards... ah bless! I've deleted that link & just put the new one in since it works with Firefox 4.0 upwards (I'm currently on version 14.0.1)

Hi, not been on here for a few years. Was just wondering if anyone can still get the old rss feed, think it was an atom feed (but not fussed) of the competition thread? Used to find it very handy for following the competion feeds, without having to keep getting bumped competition threads. If anyone knows what I'm going on about lemme know lol

P.S. I can get a feed of sorts but it seems to be picking up various forums from mse not just the competition thread
